What's with Adam and Nationals? He hasn't skated very well at this event since he became a senior.

He hasn't been a Senior that long and he's probably really feeling the pressure this year now that he's one of the frontrunners. Maybe he just needs more experience to get used to being one of the top guys.

Brandon did reasonably well; skated to The barber of Seville. Opened with 4toe2toe but tight on quad turned out; 3 axel tight landing; camel spin with change foot into donut; steps into 3 Lutz; another spin from death drop into sit into tuck but very slow at end; steps sequence a lot on one foot, nice; final spin. Looks reasonably happy.
